Our correspondent, Raliat Adenekan reports that at the groundbreaking ceremony yesterday in Abuja, President Tinubu reiterated his determination to ensure that Nigeria’s housing deficit is bridged, adding that with the commencement of construction 25 direct and indirect jobs per house, the 20,000 housing units planned for the Federal Capital Territory alone will create 500,000 jobs.

The project is a part of 20,000 housing units to be delivered in the Federal Capital Territory under a Public Private Partnership Arrangement. 

At the event, President Tinubu also directed the mandatory recitation of the national pledge after the national anthem of Nigeria at official events.

This, according to the President, will ensure absolute respect for the national symbols, as well as strengthen allegiance and fidelity to country, and to preserve Nigeria’s ethos and defining character.
